Libel Tourism Deterred

A special reply from Rachel Ehrenfeld. Plus: Obama's deception. The leisure class. And more.

(Page 2 of 2)

Easy.

A state-controlled so-called "news media," that's no longer the Fourth Estate, but Fifth Column. Actually, they're no longer even subversive in their treachery. They're the new Ministry of Newspeak, Nospeak and Dumbspeak.

Democrats, liberals and leftists, including the president, whose monotonal message of socialism allows and speaks no truth.

The amorality of liberalism and its bedrock hypocrisy.

The apparent penchant for this particular president and his Congressional leaders' cognitive dissonance and mendacity.

A megalomaniac, Obama, who doesn't care what anyone thinks of him and who will say anything -- anything -- to advance his statist position. And one who expects everyone to believe everything he says, all the time.

Perhaps, though, Obama's performance was not for true public consumption or reporting?

The endless-campaigner and lecturer-in-chief Obama wasn't speaking to the nation in his same-old-same-old, finger-wagging, angry and bitter speech, I think.

His real audience was just the Democrats in that chamber who were or are fence-sitting on support of whatever “plan” it is about which Obama fictionalizes and the Democrats rationalize—and about which both still advance “shameless falsehoods.”
